IPL 2025 Live: Here’s what Hardik Pandya said at the toss

“We would’ve bowled first as well. It has always been about how we can play good cricket. The conversation was always about how we can get better, we’ve spoken about the same and nothing changes. We want to be fearless and not let fear of failure kick in. Don’t decide how much we need to put on, have a set marker but we need to analyze the wicket. Quite confident about batting on this wicket. There hasn’t been much dew around. We go with the same team,” said Hardik Pandya. 

IPL 2025 Live: Here’s what Riyan Parag said at the toss

“We’ll bowl first. We might see some dew later. Usually the wicket settles down a little later at night. Want to exploit that. We’ve kept it very simple regardless of winning or losing. Rahul sir has made it clear, we keep it simple whether we go high or low. Three games ago, the message was we take it one game at a time. If we play to our potential, we know how good we can be. Just want to give everyone the freedom to play their game. Couple of changes, Hasaranga has a niggle, Kumar Kartiykeya comes in, Sandy bhai has broken his finger so Madhwal comes in,” said Riyan Parag.

RR vs MI Live: Toss

Rajasthan Royals skipper Riyan Parag won the toss and opted to bowl against Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2025 match on Thursday in Jaipur. 

RR vs MI Live: Pitch report

“About two and a half nights ago we had a record breaking performance from a very very young man, even a boy, 14 years old and he set the pink city alight. And we are back here in Jaipur once again for this contest which is phenomenally important. It is a very hot summer, suggesting 38-39 degrees. I am standing on pitch 5, to my left about 60 meters, a little bit shorter to my right 57 meters and 69 down the ground. The overhead conditions are slightly different, the other night there was a substantial breeze that was blowing across the ground,” reckon Ian Bishop and Matthew Hayden.

IPL 2025 Live: Memorable debut for Corbin Bosch

One of the positives for Mumbai Indians in the previous game was the performance of debutant Corbin Bosch who scored at a strike rate of 200 besides taking a wicket.

RR vs MI Live: MI high on momentum

For Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians, the return of Jasprit Bumrah has coincided with their ascent to the top of the table. The perennial slow starters have now collected five wins on the bounce and look unstoppable.

RR vs MI Live: Pace bowling a concern for RR

A big headache for Rajasthan Royals is their bowling. In the pace department, Jofra Archer has provided the breakthroughs but has conceded close to 10 runs per over. Sandeep Sharma too has proved to be a tad expensive. In fact, none of their frontline bowlers have an economy rate of less than 9.

RR vs MI Live: No news on Samson

Sanju Samson last played on April 16 and there is no clarity over his comeback, leaving Vaibhav Suravanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings again. Their 166-run stand against Gujarat Titans ensured they made short work of the 210-run target. Having put bowlers of international repute to the sword, it would be interesting to see how southpaw Suryavanshi fares against Jasprit Bumrah.

RR vs MI Live: Will Suryavanshi shine again?

The match against Gujarat Titans was the just a beginning of an upcoming marvelous career for Vaibhav Suryavanshi. The 14-year-old batter hammered the likes of Ishant Sharma and Rashid Khan to bring up his century in just 35 balls. Now against Mumbai Indians, he will face a Trent Boult and the fiery Jasprit Bumrah. All eyes will be on Suryavanshi today. 

RR vs MI Live: The stunning Vaibhav Suryavanshi

With 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi potentially playing the knock of the tournament on Monday, the Royals have found a ray of hope in what has been an IPL campaign of missed opportunities. A side strain to skipper Sanju Samson paved the way of Suryavanshi’s debut and it only took him three innings to become the talking point of the cricketing world.

RR vs MI Live: MI’s winning streak

Rajasthan Royals will turn up against Mumbai Indians with renewed vigour as they aim to halt the five-time champions’ surging momentum. The five-time champions are high on momentum and are looking as one of the strongest contenders for a spot in the playoffs.
